It appears that being responsible for an insurance-friendly health-care law trumps an economic catastrophe, a drowned city, the demolition of our moral credibility and the rule of law, and foreign policy debacles for which we are paying now, and for which we will be paying for years.

Of course, the whole survey is demonstrably worthless.

If Obama's looking for a silver lining, it's that at this point of his presidency Bush far outpaced his competitors for worst, beating second place by 16 percentage points. Meanwhile, Obama's only five points up on Bush, reflecting a more partisan split.The benefit of hindsight seems to help former executives' reputations. When the poll was conducted in 2006, 16% named Clinton as the worst; now, only three percent feel that way. W's vote fell by six percentage points, and Nixon's by four. Never, ever count Nixon out.

Nevertheless, watch the frenzy in the seal tank as our idiot media culture makes a meal out of this. Watch the Democrats run for cover. Watch the clouds roll in, ominously, again.
